I think it's a bit overrated. Idk, it lacks...something. Probably just me.

I read a few reviews from people who had too high expectations going into the movie .. it being Hitchcocks fav movie and all.

Some things were a little weird, like the relationship between the detective and Charlie, it went way too quickly for my liking .. but I did love the way the movie was shot




the Host,

Idk why but the name of the movie doesn't speak to me at all.

I haven't watched all of Hitchcock's movies but I've seen a lot of them. That one is not high up my list.

Still the acting of Uncle Charlie's character was strong and creepy

I liked her better than him.

Evil Things (2009)

It was on TV and I was folding and washing clothes. I left it on and kept waiting for the entertaining and/or scary part to begin. Yeah, right! It's bad, very bad, really bad. Stay away from this one.

I watched Dark Skies last night and my view is: as a sci-fi flick it was a complete waste of time (far too similar to The Forgotten), but as a scary movie, it worked really well. 

Had to get a little closer to the missus a couple of times at the creepy bits, which is a good sign as it ain't a common event...

Big minus though is it really has to have a second part otherwise it is pointless.

Killing Them Softly. Pretty much a Tarantino wannabe flik... crappy. 6/10.

Does that make it an exploitation of exploitation of exploitation film?

This really speaks bad of the flick then.  *Note* See dweez's previous opinion on QT

Deadline (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242618/
Quite suspenseful, without over use of the Jump Scare
The atmos music was a bit over-done though 
Where did the printer come from ? 
Not as bad as the IMDB would make you think
6/10

Rock of ages. Sillier than I expected, but cute.

Donnie Brasco (1997).  DVD from the library.

Johnny Depp. Al Pacino.  excellent cast.  true story.  Reasonably well acted.  Had Anne Heche as Depp's long suffering wife.  I just never could warm up to that actress.  She's technically good, but there's something missing. 

The movie was entertaining but a bit long.  Somehow it didn't really hang together for me.  7/10.

I can understand that. I feel the same way.

Salmon fishing - It's a nice easy going movie.Nothing too demanding to watch and i love this style of movie.
A typical British love story
Apparently when this movie was released the tourist office was inundated with enquiries to go fishing in the Yemen
